Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 22, 1914.

Application filed March 3, 1914. Serial No. 822,202.

for Cleaning VVall-Paper, Ceilings, '&c.; and- I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the ac companying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in devices forholding material for cleaning wall paper, ceilings, etc., and the object in view is to produce a simple and efficient device of this nature forming means whereby the plastic doughlike material, which is used for the purpose, may be conveniently handled.

My invention comprises various details of construction, combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

i I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the de vice. Fig. .2 is a cross sectional view, and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional View.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a receptacle which may be of any size or shape,

I prefer ably-rectangular, and is provided with resilient lugs B which are spaced apart and are apertured for the reception of a bolt or screw D upon which a winged nut E is mounted, aflording means whereby the screw may be passed through a handle F and, by the tightening of the thumb screw, ca se the lugs to clamp and hold the receptacle in an adjusted position at. different angles to the handle as may be desired for convenience in cleaning walls and ceilings of rooms.

In order that the open edges of the recep-v tacle may not mar the well, they are turned into rolls H as shown, A follower, designated by letter K, is mounted within and cenfori'us to the size of the opening in the receptacle and is swivelly mounted upon an adjusting screw L which is mounted in a threaded aperture in the bottom of the receptacle, said thumb screw having a winged head for convenience in turning the same.

The material which is utilized for cleaning the wall and which material is of a constecy of dough is placed within the rewith the follower turned down tothe bottom of the latter. As the material wears away from usage, the follower in operation, the material which projects out of the open receptacle is held against the wall or ceiling and rubbed back and forth over the same, the soil being either absorbed or wiped from the wall or ceiling.

\Vhat I claim to be new is:

In combination with a receptacle having its outer marginal edge turned to form a roll, a wall cleaning member mounted within the receptacle and having its-outer end flaring and bearing against said rolled portion, a follower movable within the receptacle, a bracket niember' secured to the receptacle and having arms which are-provided with oppositelydisposed apertures, a pivotalscrew mounted in said apertures and a handle pivoted upon the screw, said receptacle having a boss projecting about an opening therein, and a screw mounted within said opening and swiveled to said follower.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ELIZA SAYRE.
